Entry #1456

This week's water tower is found in Fosston, MN.

Good lord, who in hell would want to see our second dumbest president on Mount Rushmore? Apparently Jack Kemp.

The blog Bent Objects is all about objects that are, um...bent.

Although I have yet to choose a candidate in the Democratic primary, I really, really, really like John Edwards.

Mark, John Edwards would never, ever, ever make it... his major mission is the fight to end poverty, a noble one of course, but unfortunately not one that is going to get the public to elect him.

I say, Oprah for president... :-)

Edwards/Obama is still my dream ticket (and it's sounding more likely every day)! Eight years of Edwards and then another eight years of Obama. We could turn this mess around!!!

Many of us think the whole Mount Rushmore thing is an abomination to begin with, but I kind of like the tacit admission that Reagan's head really was full of rocks.

> Edwards.

Yes.

Edwards genuinely has the fire in the belly; he doesn't have to pretend to care about Americans. He can write a kick-ass legal brief, prosecute a case in court, and can call a spade a non-red card.

I've been on board the Edwards train for a long time: I don't see substantive reasons to support Sen. Clinton (there are of course many irrational or emotional or loyalty or justice-for-wrongs-done reasons, but those are bad reasons to vote for a Presidential candidate, even in the primaries).

Sen Obama gives wonderful speeches; we have a Constitutional position for which he's absolutely qualified, and that's the Vice Presidency.

Going to the candidates' debate
